When you register your team you will receive an email with a link to access the Bowl for Jason’s Friends
Page where you and your teammates can receive online donations from your supporters! You will need to
set up your team on this page and invite your teammates to join your team. It is easy to use and allows
your team to make personal appeals to friends and family through email, Facebook and other social media,
as well as track progress towards fundraising goals both individually and as a team. Your supporters will be
able to go to your personal link and give directly to you. Supporters can also build their OWN page and
help you raise more money!
5. DISTRIBUTE the Donation Envelopes to your teammates or direct them to jasonsfriends.org Bowl page to
print the DONATION SHEET. Point out the prizes available to win for most donations collected. Ask your
team to start collecting donations immediately! Encourage your teammates to collect at least $75 in
donations to help meet our fundraising goals, earn a FREE t-shirt and be entered into a drawing for the
opportunity to win prizes! The more they collect the more prizes they can win!
6. COLLECT ALL donations prior to bowling. There will be no billing to collect donations after the event.
7. BOWL at your reserved time on Saturday, March 4. Please have your team arrive 20 minutes before your
scheduled time and check-in at the Registration Table. Have each bowler bring their Donation Envelope or
Donation Sheet stapled to an envelope showing the contact details, total of their online gifts plus amounts
of each cash/check donation and place all money collected in the envelope.
